"Minor changes include the rebate cap for Ground Source Heat Pumps and the higher SEER requirement for Dual Fuel Heat Pumps," says Manager of Member Services Kevin Hurd. "We're happy that other guidelines remain unchanged, and that we can continue to offer these rebates for another year," he adds.
During the past year, Cuivre River members received more than $460,000 through the rebate program to help improve appliance efficiency and install high efficiency heating and cooling systems.
Appliance rebates were provided for 186 clothes washers, 98 dishwashers and 70 water heaters. Heat Pump rebates were provided for 60 Dual Fuel systems and 104 Ground Source systems, which helped members, add a total of 788.5 Tons of high efficiency home heating and cooling.
The majority of funds for the rebate program are provided by Associated Electric Cooperative, Inc. (AECI), which sets the program guidelines. AECI supplies wholesale power to Cuivre River and other electric cooperatives in Missouri, Iowa and Oklahoma. Cuivre River provides a portion of the funds for local heat pump rebates.
